Sounds about right... Postphonic: A Look Into Everything Audio
MYTEK sponsoring this year’s NYAS! Great to see this company making moves. Postphonic got a quick listen of the Brooklyn, but the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan need an in-depth review to unpack what is going on here. How bout sending something to Postphonic se we can get our sweaty hands on em??? Anyone second this motion?? @myteksound #mytek
Happy 40th Anniversary VPI!!! Great [email protected] the official HW-40 IRL! Hats off to this dream team for pushing the boundaries of the industry to new levels! @vpiindustries #vpi
Not sure why we are digging Techniques so much, but after hearing their new bookshelf speakers over the past few years we are hooked on their new attention to audiophile detail. Check out the guts of their new “Direct Drive” turntable.” The platter IS the motor! @technicsturntables
Want to eliminate entire walls from your room dynamics? Check out RUEL. These stackable speaker units fill your room top to bottom to eliminate the sweet spot and truly fill your space with sound. #ruelaudio
Cool to see Cambridge Audio at the show featuring their new EDGE A Amplifier. Wanted to unpack the sound from this unit, but unsure the speakers and/or room was dialed in! Maybe Cambridge can send Posphonic a unit to review?? Wink Wink! @cambridgeaudio
All Postphonic has to say is AVM. Stay tuned for more... #avmaudio
Always a fan favorite, Bache audio comes to the sow with their Tribeca-001 speaker. A truly amazingly well balanced reference speaker. One of those speakers at the show that really needs no introduction, as their designer, Greg Belman, flips through some amazing song selections sitting quietly in the back of the room. (Notably missing from the room this year were the Alexus Audio amplifiers which Greg said are getting “a bit pricey” for the show! You will have to pair them back together in your own system to get the full effect of a “match made in Brooklyn!”
One room making a statement this year was curated by Vitalis Audio. Steampunk mod to your favorite B&W speaker? That is up to you. Stand up bass mod: dang! Sounded pretty good! ...if you like a speaker with a lot of bass...
ESD Acoustic making one of the biggest statements of the show. These horns literally blew some people away! Big detailed sound, perfect system for your spare ballroom...
Postphonic checking in to the NEW YORK AUDIO SHOW! Here is to a great show day. Looking forward to hearing what’s new with everyone!
Amazing Sound! Modwright HA-300 integrated with Fritz Carrera BE speakers! 8 Watt 300b Tube driving 88db sensitive speakers. This combo works!!
The new Klipsch LaScalas are looking AND sounding fantastic!
We have arrived!
Who’s going to Capital Audio Fest 2018??? Postphonic is gearing up to travel down to CAF in ROCKville MD THIS WEEKEND 11/3, 11/4!! Will be logging the show in general, but will also be vetting a handful of exceptional exhibitors to do feature reviews on!! Can’t Wait!!
ROOM DROP / One of the biggest highlights of Postphonic’s journal thus far was a listening sesh in the newly constructed listening room of co-founder Erik Haas (@plattersofspinningplastic). This was a truly remarkable visit as he has just taken delivery of a pair of custom made Klipsch Jubilees. The listening session revealed perhaps the most impressive example of low wattage, low distortion amplification available in the real world! It was an insane weekend of listening to exact representation of some of the best recorded and produced vinyl and high res digital in modern times. To be honest, it took Postphonic quite a while to actually process the quality, non-distorted high decibel, experience of the session! Very hard to put into words. Truly amazing to witness in person... Stay tuned for more on the room build and specs!
Another Record Store Day in the books! Great hunting. Beautiful day here in NYC. @turntablelab #rsd2018 #rsd
MOOG Audio! I know what you are thinking, this can’t be THE MOOG Audio, but turns out this shop was the ORIGINAL MOOG Audio! When MOOG instruments found out, the two MOOGs worked it out with a handshake agreement that the store would always “keep it electric!” Super friendly and helpful staff. Need guitar pedals? There is an entire room! Hundreds available, along with synths/electronic drums/etc./etc./etc./beep/beep/1/O.
Art Et Son! Passed by while walking down Saint-Laurent. Some strong gear imported from around the world. Newly minted, Art Et Son is introducing, reintroducing HI-FI to the area with some cool brands, with cool sound! While there, the store owner was demoing a pair of Grado headphones for a budding audiophile!
Stumbled upon: LA FIN DU VINYLE! Ageless vinyl shop full of treasures. Stocked with classics and a fantastically cool vibe and staff. Grabbed a custom shop record mat on the way out... as one does!
First stop: AudioShop! Fantastic, classic audio store right in the middle of Montreal. AudioShop has been in this location for over 40 years! But if you want to check them out in this location you better hurry up! They are moving down the street in TWO WEEKS! Great to meet Sylvian, the store owner - A warm personality and true audio aficionado! If you ever need great sound in CA, be sure to look up AudioShop!

Special guest at the VPI house party: Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors! Spinning his new record! Great Stuff! @vpiindustries @plattersofspinningplastic @thechrisbarron #vpi
What??? Blue on Blue??? Is this some sort of optical illusion? @vego99 @vpiindustries #vpi #turntable
VPI crew “In The House!” - The VPI House that is!! An entire property devoted to listening rooms and displays for private demos. Take a good look around as the plans have been laid to remodel for specific audiophile needs! #vpi #audiophile @vego99 @vpiindustries
Basche speakers and Alexus Audio. Two talented audio designers and generally great guys. Definitely one of the top 3 best sounding rooms at the show. Brooklyn based, this equipment is some of the best. Beautiful, transparent, full, real sound. Basche introducing bookshelf speakers for the first time this year. Gotta hear these to believe them! #hifi #speakers #tubeamps
Now this is interesting. Kind of like the SONOS for turntables. This all-in-one unit has the most insane sound stage out of, well, all all-in-one units! Everyone visiting +Audio was playing find the subwoofer. Combining Pro-Ject turntables with 3.5 woofers, DSP technology, hundreds of hours of testing, algorithm programming and engineering, bluetooth/usb etc. etc, this unit produced incredible sound, with excellent plinth and vibration insulation. Cool stuff, and from now through December, +Audio is offering these at an affordable discount. Great sound, Great value. #vinyl #plusaudio
Ohm speakers. Ever have that experience at an audio show where you sit down and forget to get up? Three songs into it and you just want to hear what’s next? If you REALLY want full immersion and room-filling sound, Ohm is the way to go. Made in Red Hook Brooklyn, these are true classics in the industry. If you want immersion, and OHMni-directional sound, go big, or go Ohm... #ohmwalsh
Did it AGAIN! Best sounding room goes to VPI/PureAudioProject. VPI rocking the rock solid Avenger, and PAP with the Trio15 Voxativ. These speakers sound amazing. Only room where everyone was dumbfounded, absolutely silent, and completely involved with the experience. Win. #vpi #pureaudioproject
Margules bringing a great analog system including 50 watt mono tube amps. Ever have the desire to have your speakers match your amps? Well they can do that with a fine Caribbean walnut! Based in GA, manufactured in Mexico City.
Great to see Electrocompaniet at the show after a few years away. What a great sounding, and beautifully packaged system. Also interesting to see the pairing of their own speaker line as well. Apparently they have been manufacturing speakers for about 7 years now!
Postphonic at the NYC Audio Show 2017!
VPI: Where the hits keep coming! Big announcements at Capital Audiofest: Official Cliffwood table on display, rose gold record clamp and ring, first ever VPI “dual” phono stage, and, what may prove to be the tonearm of the century, The FAT BOY! 👏👏👏👏
Best rug goes to Zu Audio. “It really pulled the room together.” These guys literally rocked the house with their audiophile DJ. Big sound. Modern look with a twist of lime.
Buy far one of the biggest pleasures was meeting Dan Wright of ModWright. Some of the most beautiful, best sounding and ingenious pieces of the show. balanced preamps, 0 feedback class A amps. Thanks Dan for taking the time to chat! Send us some stuff to review!
Tri- it before you Bi- it! Unique experience to hear the classic Bryston amplifiers with their recently developed speaker line! Meaty!
